03 What we manage

Operational support
around the order.

01 · Supplier sourcing & verification

The right supplier is not always the first supplier you find.

We compare more than price. Product fit, production capability, communication, order quantity and market requirements all influence whether a supplier is right for your project.

Control is built into
how the work is managed.

One project contact

You communicate with one Alfin Union team instead of chasing several factories.

Written specifications

Important product, packaging and timing requirements are confirmed before production.

03

Visible progress

Key project updates, approvals and issues are communicated throughout the order.

Risks are raised while there is still time to correct them—not after shipment.

06 Before you begin

Practical questions.
Clear answers.

You do not need a finished specification to start. A product reference and a little context are enough for an initial review.

01Do you work only with factories?+

Our priority is direct and suitable supply. Depending on the product, order quantity and market, the practical route may be a source factory, a specialized manufacturer or verified market-ready inventory.

02Can you source outside the listed categories?+

Yes. Send a product reference and we will assess the most practical supplier or market route across China.

03What information is needed to start?+

A product photo or link, estimated quantity and destination market are enough for an initial review. Customization, timing and target pricing help us respond more precisely.

04Can you support small trial orders?+

Where the product and supplier allow it, we can explore existing stock, flexible MOQ or sample-led routes before larger production.

05How do you charge for sourcing services?+

The structure depends on the product, order size and level of support required. We confirm the scope and cost before work begins.

06Can you inspect an order from my existing supplier?+

Yes. Inspection and production follow-up can be arranged for an existing supplier when the scope, location and inspection requirements are confirmed.

READY TO START?

Bring us the product.
We will organize the path forward.

A photo, reference link or short product description is enough to begin.
